I love how CO Democrats are just watching the rise of the Orange Reich, and their solution so far is to ban modern firearms and allow sheriffs to decide that black people can't get an exception to the ban.

Regulating based on detachable magazine isn't a very good idea.

Keltec is already making a 20 round pistol that doesn't have a detachable magazine and is loaded by clips almost as fast.

The lack of detachable magazine makes it more easily concealable as well because it saves on weight and width.

Feature specific bans do nothing except encourage manufacturers to develop loopholes, and that happens faster than laws go into effect these days.

I do want to give Colorado credit for requiring a background check even on private sales, that's something we've needed to fix federally for a very long time.

I know it feels useless and tedious writing your representatives about why gun ownership rights are important to you but it is a necessary thing to do. Right now these officials are assuming the people who care about gun ownership rights are already not a reachable voting block. Being vocal about this to anyone you are eligible to vote for can help them remember there are votes to be won with that issue.
